In Heaven Dou City.
"Long live the Fourth Prince!"
At the entrance to a hotel, Xue Beng walked out looking brash and refreshed, a few scratches on his neck and satisfaction on his face.
Outside, a crowd of his disreputable friends raised their hands and cheered.
"Your Highness, how did that woman taste?"
Just then, a sleazy-looking, monkey-faced lackey sidled up to Xue Beng.
"Hahaha, good, very good! Hmph, she tried to act all reserved with me, but wasn't she wild enough in the end?"
Xue Beng was in an excellent mood. A female student abducted from an Intermediate Academy really was different!
"Then, Your Highness, about that woman... could us brothers have a turn?"
"Hahaha, she's yours!"
As soon as Xue Beng finished speaking, the people surrounding him surged into the hotel behind him.
Xue Beng mounted his horse and galloped off with his guards following behind.
It had taken some doing to get out of the academy, so he intended to enjoy himself properly.
"Xiaosan, can't you hurry up?!"
"Why are you so useless?!"
On a shopping street, Xiao Wu looked back in disdain at Tang San, who was struggling behind her.
"Xiao Wu, let's take a break. We've been shopping for three hours."
Tang San was baffled too. His stamina was clearly excellent, so why did it fail him whenever he went shopping with Xiao Wu?
"You really are useless. Stay here and rest by yourself."
Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San. If he couldn't keep coughing up Gold Soul Coins, she would have stopped bothering with him long ago.
"No, no, no, Xiao Wu! I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Just as Tang San was about to catch up, the sound of galloping hooves rapidly approached.
"Move! All of you, get out of my way, you lowborn scum!"
Riding his horse, Xue Beng lashed his whip wantonly, striking the commoners on either side of the road hard.
"Xiao Wu, watch out!"
Seeing this, Tang San pulled Xiao Wu behind him without a second thought.
Crack.
The whip landed beside their feet, followed immediately by the sound of Xue Beng and his guards charging past.
"Damn it, does that man have no manners? Doesn't he know how dangerous that is?!"
Xiao Wu spoke resentfully. She had nearly been whipped just now!
Hearing her, Tang San also cast a displeased glance at the retreating Xue Beng.
"Xiao Wu, wait here for me. Someone who gallops through the streets without a care for the safety of passersby shouldn't be allowed to live!"
By nearly hurting Xiao Wu, this man had already courted death.
Of course, most importantly, this was a perfect opportunity to make a good showing in front of Xiao Wu!
Perhaps this opportunity would change Xiao Wu's impression of him?
The next second, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass and activated his First Soul Skill.
In an instant, it entangled the still-galloping horse.
With that entanglement, the horse immediately fell, taking its rider down with it.
Seeing their master fall from his horse, the guards' expressions changed drastically. They all released their Martial Souls-every one of them was a Two-Ring Soul Master.
"Bastard!"
Xue Beng scrambled up from the ground, flying into a rage. In all his years, no one had ever dared treat him like this, especially here in Heaven Dou City!
"What right does someone like you, who disregards the safety of innocent passersby, have to live in this world?!"
Tang San's voice rang out as he slowly walked toward Xue Beng with a gait he considered extremely dashing.
"You lowborn scum, how dare you show me such disrespect! Guards, seize him!"
At Xue Beng's command, the guards beside him rushed at Tang San together.
"Hmph, you lowborn scum! Once they seize you, I'll make sure you suffer!"
Xue Beng glared venomously at Tang San. This lowborn wretch had subjected him to such humiliation. If he didn't give him a thorough torturing, his surname wasn't Xue!
Yet the very next second, Tang San sent those guards flying in an instant.
Watching the guards fly through the air, Xue Beng's expression froze.
Tang San gave Xue Beng a disdainful smile.
"So what if you have powerful backing? We at Shrek Academy fear powerful backing least of all. As the saying goes, a Soul Master who dares not stir up trouble is mediocre!"
What is there to fear? Counting my teacher's wife, I have three Soul Saints behind me. Even if we compare backing, I'm not afraid!
"You... what are you going to do?"
"I'm warning you, I'm the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! If you dare do anything to me here in Heaven Dou City, I guarantee you'll pay for it!"
Watching Tang San draw ever closer, Xue Beng felt somewhat afraid, but his status as a prince still gave him absolute confidence.
"Heh, you're a prince just because you say so? Then I say I'm the emperor!"
Regardless of Xue Beng's claims, even if he really was a prince, Tang San would not stop.
He had already said in front of Xiao Wu that someone like this did not deserve to live.
If he backed down now because the other man was a prince, he would lose face terribly in front of Xiao Wu!
"Young friend, let this matter rest."
Just then, a refined voice came from behind him.
Tang San turned to look and saw-
An extravagantly luxurious carriage approached slowly, flanked on both sides by an endless procession of guards in heavy armor.
The sight of those guards immediately made Tang San frown.
These guards felt far more dangerous than the ones he had just sent flying!
"Imperial Uncle!"
Seeing the carriage, Xue Beng's expression immediately brightened.
Just then, an old man wearing a python robe stepped out of the carriage.
The old man glanced at Tang San, a trace of killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The old man was none other than King Qin Xue Xing.
"Young man." Xue Xing pointed at Xue Beng. "You cannot touch him."
Tang San looked at the guards on either side and the imposing Xue Xing, then grinned.
"Why can't I touch him? He galloped through the streets without a care for the common people's safety. Someone like that deserves death and more."
This righteousness of mine should move Xiao Wu, right?
In the crowd, Yun Tian watched the scene and silently shook his head.
He was beginning to wonder whether something was wrong with his memory. Tang San hadn't been this stupid in the original story. Just where had things gone wrong?
When Tang San released his Martial Soul earlier, he had sensed Tang San's Soul Power and come over because of it.
"Young man, my patience has its limits. If you let this matter rest, I will also treat today's incident as though it never happened. Otherwise..."
Before Xue Xing could finish, Tang San spoke again.
"Otherwise what?"
"You old bastard, don't think I'll fear you just because you hold a high position. Today, let me tell you."
"A Soul Master who dares not stir up trouble is mediocre!"
Hearing this, Xue Xing's face immediately darkened. He looked at Tang San before him and suddenly laughed.
"You old bastard, what are you laughing at?!"
Tang San pointed with one hand as he looked at the laughing Xue Xing.
